Falling Into Place
Chapter 1.
Walking in the room I took out my CD and popped it inside the PlayStation2. Looking back at her I skipped to her track. She ran to the center of her room, dropping her head to stare at her feet while the right foot tapped catching the beat. Her head slowly came up with the sound of the drums. She took a deep breath then started to sing:
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory
I watched as she shook her head on the last line. My eyes skimmed her face watching the emotion in her expression. She seemed to take this song to heart, I can't blame her it's beautiful. She continued as I watched her singing:
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
She held her sides when she sang the first "I won't go" to the last "Until you're resting here with me", She seemed very into the song and by the time it was almost finished she looked like she lived the song. Now it was my turn.
I ran to where she had been as she took my place by the PlayStation2. I looked at her doing a three count then tapping my foot already knowing the beat, rhythm, and melody by heart. I love this song. It's the only song I've ever heard by Train though.
Now that he's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in his hair, hey, hey
He acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from his stay on the moon
He listens like spring and he talks like June, hey, hey
I shook my head on all the "hey, hey"s. She told me I always come to life when I sing ,but this is the first time I'll sing in public. The thought makes me nervous.
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
I slowly wiped my hand across in front of me on "sail across the sun", drew my hand slowly back to me as if I grabbed a star on "to see the lights all faded", and held my hand in front of my heart "heaven is overrated". My eyes shimmered then lost all light when the door swung open making me shut up completely.
"Girls, time to bring Summer home," her mom said as I nodded grabbing my bag and swinging it over my shoulder.
"Okay ,mom," Jess sighed as we walked to the car.
"Two weeks left to practice before your big night," her mom said starting the car as Drops of Jupiter started playing," Hey Summer, why not sing for us since I interrupted you?"
"No thank you ma'am. I won't till I know it's perfect," I whispered and watched the cars zoom down the street.
Each a different color, each a different person, everyone busy with their lives. Just like my parents are. Too busy for me and Jack. Jack is too busy too. Everyone seems to be except Mrs. Lexington. She has time for me ,but now she seems to have less. She's getting busy too, like the rest of the world.
When we pulled in the trailer park I live in I jumped out and ran to my house, waving a quick goodbye, saying a quick thank you, and running as fast as I can. It's getting dark and I hate being out here after dark. The people here scare me.
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
